all though i may be a little over doing it because my gaming performance is just at an ok stat. and the duel graphics mode is good and but im putting my game in low to medium setting. but my issue is not playing in 1920x1080. i could care less about anything else because if i can play in that reso it will pretty darn good anyway no matter what setting you have looks on. So i was thinking about buy a 7850. im only going as far as a new gpu i don't the money to do a complete overhaul of my computer. because well i just did last week getting the motherboard and cpu.

now i know what your might thinking " oh why did he get a apu and an apu motherboard!! grr his foolish blah blah" lol. well my last setup was the A8-3850 and i thought it would be an fps upgrade and nothing has gone or down fps is the same so yes im trying to find a good discrete gpu so that i can play in 1920x1080

SO my question is should i get the 7850 which is going for like 200 dollars or is there something esle i could get cheaper for greater performance.

most of the game i play for example borderlands in that reso i only get 19 to 23 frames and that low to meduim settings. skyrim on 1920 is arounf 28 frames but when i move or turn it very unsable in the fps department. im not even going to talk about planetside lol.

All thought my fps on all my game are like 5 to 10 frame lower every since i got windows 8

You can live with less ram probably. a Good kit of 8GB at 1866MHz would be much better than your current 16GB if you are not using VMs or RAMDrives. As the APU performance highly depends on ram speed and 1866 seems to be a sweet spot for them in price/performance.
